"Ghetto" is the Very. Last. Thing I would ever say about Holly Robinson Peete.

I think it's pretty clear Republican men hope to kill off the rest of us.

Pardon my ignorance, but who the hell is Jimmy Dore?

I, myself, see how hard the media is trying to scandalize Biden's not holding a solo press conference since taking office. As if such a thing matters to anyone outside of the press.

By now, we know all about how much Congress, at best, tolerates Bernie Sanders. If he'd been president, he wouldn't stand a chance of getting ANY legislation passed, let alone a COVID relief bill. Ramona Quimby vs. Zack Morris: Round 2. Ramona: 2 Zack: 0

Sharon Osbourne: "Don't you cry, Sheryl! If anyone should be crying, it should be me!" Oh, really, white girl?

I must admit that a part of me looks forward to seeing "#WhereIsTheCat" trend on social media.

With all this talk about Johnny, don't be surprised if/when he suddenly pops up in present-day Salem. You know how much Ron Carlivati loves to do that kind of thing.

I can't tell whether this has been posted yet, but... https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetillman/trump-supreme-court-election-loss?bftwnews&utm_term=4ldqpgc#4ldqpgc

IKR, lol?

IMO, it didn't make sense for Maggie to agree to be a surrogate when she was yearning so much for a baby of her own. It's as if they wanted to replicate the Doug/Rebecca surrogacy storyline from the Pat Falken Smith era without taking Maggie's history into account.

Is it any wonder why women, who were and are supposed to be the soaps' target demographic, continue to abandon these shows (and others) in droves? Women (and women 18-34/49, in particular) continue to be the advertisers' biggest concern with network/cable/streaming series. Yet, the people who produce and air these shows prove at every turn just how much they actually hate women.

Wow, she's even more incoherent with normal hair!

It figures that Piers [!@#$%^&*] Morgan would stomp off the set like an overgrown brat. (That's the trouble with so many racists. They're so thin-skinned.) Speaking of stomping off (LOL!), let me just say this and then I'll bow out as gracefully as I can from this thread. I'm as focused as I am on Meghan and on her allegations of racism, because, IMO, that's where the enmity between Harry/Meghan and the rest of the House of Windsor (and between them and the UK and international media) lies. I don't doubt that there are other, lingering issues between Harry and Charles, and between Harry and William, that began long before the day he first brought Meghan home to meet the family. (I'm sure there are bound to be issues in any family where the father or patriarch spends the majority of his marriage pursuing an extramarital affair.) But I also don't doubt that Harry's decision to build a family and a life with biracial Meghan has amplified and exacerbated said issues. And I don't think anyone in the royal family would be where they are at this moment, either physically or emotionally, if Harry instead had married a pert-nosed blonde with good breeding and exquisite manners. One final point: I know about the allegations of bullying and rudeness that have been lodged against Meghan, but I also know (from my own observations) that many whites still, to this day, take issue with any woman of color who asserts herself rather than submit to anyone's preconceived notions of femininity. To those individuals, women in general aren't supposed to display backbones or express opinions, especially when those opinions run counter to the dominant (read: white male) line of thought. Ergo, whenever a black or brown woman enters the scene with her own way of feeling, thinking or doing things, and who will not "remember her place" simply because a (white) man or woman reminds her to, those same individuals are bound to perceive her as a bully and a threat. That's just something to bear in mind whenever one thinks about all the disparaging things that have been said about Meghan, whether by the press, or in the court of public opinion.

IA. There is a sense that Tomlin and Lisanti were working to wrap up and move on from Laemmle's stories as quickly as possible.

No, I'm referring to the "others" who haven't been defended the way Meghan has. Who should have been defended here that hasn't?

Joe Manchin, re: filibuster: "I just want to make sure the minority is heard." The minority was heard on Election Day...when they lost. Ergo, what they want, or don't want, in each piece of legislation that crosses their way should be irrelevant.

Like whom?

Frankly, unless there's proof she's also lying about the racism she's encountered as a (now-former) Royal, that's irrelevant.

Ah, yes, the Nazi costume. An "incident" that got swept under the same rug as his grandfather's past, racist comments, almost as soon as it hit the tabloids. Not too many still talk about the Nazi costume; yet, it's been how many years? And people remain outraged that Michelle Obama had the audacity to put her hand on Queen Elizabeth's shoulder when they were formally introduced. Yep.

Receipts?

Agree.

Just as *I* get the feeling that *you* had *your* mind made up that Harry and Meghan had dark, ulterior motives in agreeing to the interview. Oh, I'm sure many would believe William and Kate's version of events. Just as there are those who insist, to this day, that there were "good people on both sides" of the Charlottesville incident. Why is it that many victims of racism need "proof" that they have been victims of racism? Can't you just take their word for it? But, you see, that's the problem with being one who has been victimized on account of their race or ethnicity. Unless there's undeniable, physical proof that they have been targets of racism (and even then!), wypipo either say that they're lying, or that they blew a situation out of proportion, or that there is more than one side to the story. This is why racism persists, because we look for any reason not to hold the racists accountable, thereby giving them a pass to continue being racist. What. Difference. Does. That. Make. We know the BRF has covered for other members of their family who have behaved badly. Why couldn't they do the same for Meghan? What made her such a nightmare BTS that they just had to risk unwanted attention on the royal family as a whole and leave her to the wolves in the UK/international media, whose treatment of her has made their treatment of "floozies" Princess Margaret, Fergie and Diana look like kid gloves by comparison? Are you saying Meghan should apologize for being a twat (even though, like you've said, we don't know for sure that she has been a twat -- and like I've been saying, that she's probably behaved no worse than anyone else in Buckingham Palace) before you feel bad for her? Fine. She can apologize. Just as soon as Charles and Camilla apologize for making Diana's life a living hell.

Yes. Thank you.

Agree. If her mother (from Crenshaw) never educated her about racism, then she failed in her duty as the mother of a biracial child. People like Bill Maher and Megyn Kelly believe you shouldn't burden your children with race when they're still so young, but they don't understand that being black or brown in America doesn't leave any other choice.
